Not every sports fan can travel to London to witness the games in person. But thanks to these apps, you don’t have to miss a second of action while staying home.

Thanks for the heads up on some of these apps! I have yet to try out most of them, so hopefully I can find the time to download them soon, before the actual Games are over lol. Thankfully though, I’ve been pretty much covered using my Dish Remote Access app. Since I have Sling Adapter at home, I’m actually able to view all things Olympics, live or from what I’ve recorded to my DVR, on my phone anywhere I get a 3G/4G or Wi-Fi connection. It’s worked out perfectly too, because I’m actually away on business because of my job at Dish right now. I’ve seen the USA women’s gymnastics team and Michael Phelps take home the gold so far, so I definitely can’t wait to see what the rest of the Games have to offer. 🙂
No Problem AyDen! Thanks for taking the time to say Hi! Enjoy the Olympics Games!
